Bolusao Relief Fund
Donation protected
My name is Jarrell Gary and I am currently a Student at George Mason University. Being born and raised on the Philippine Island of Samar, my life has been forever changed since Nov. 8, 2013 by the Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. It was likely the deadliest natural disaster to beset this poor nation.
In Eastern Samar alone, at least 200 are feared dead, according to Rep. Ben Evardone. Most communication lines are still cut off and bridges are impassable in Lawaan, Borongan, and General MacArthur. Eastern Samar remains practically isolated from the rest of the country three days after super typhoon Yolanda's onslaught. Relief goods are too slow to arrive. People are dirty, hungry and thirsty. Residents of the town of Lawaan who were able to survive the typhoon have to obtain their supplies from hundreds of kilometers away. Both affluent and poor families displaced leaving whole communities in chaos and untold amounts of property damage.
In efforts with my childhood friend, Arjun Germones serving president of the Association of Law Students of the Philippines-Cebu City, we are collecting donations for our town of Bolusao through "Misyon para Bolusao-non" or "Mission for Bolusao". We have both been directly affected with family deaths and a destroyed community. We guarantee 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the people and communities in dire need. We ask for your kind support through a monetary donation.
